Truth of Fukushima Children

A mother, who escaped from Fukushima to Takarazuka near Kobe, shared the truth of Fukushima.  A third party hasn't proved it, so no Japanese media has reported.

We had a permission to share the article by the mother.

********************************************************************

When we lived in Fukushima, our children often said,

"We're dying soon, right?"

At first, we had no words to say.  But later, we started to say,

"So we evacuate from Fukushima."


Even in the summer, children have to wear long sleeves and masks in classrooms.  They must not play and have gym classes outside.  Grasses grew up about childrens' height at school's field because nobody walk in there.  When children tried to play with the soil and grasses, their parents screamed not to touch them.  Adults told children not to walk above side ditches.

We bought Geiger counters and measured.  The counters indicates very high radioactive backgrounds even inside houses.  We moved beds of children from window side to the center of the rooms.  We carefully cook meals.  We cleaned roofs and walls of houses with high pressured washers.  We also washed roads to school.  In weekends, we evacuated to other prefectures.  But still a lot of children suffered nosebleeds, diarrhea and headaches.

Several friends of my daughter were diagnosed as beginning of leukemia, some others as thyroid disorders.

Mothers cannot stay there anymore, but people had different opinions and they had a lot of arguments at their families and companies.

Our family evacuated from Fukushima finally, but we stayed there for 10 months after the earthquake.  So we're not sure about the future of our daughter.  She has to worry about her health for rest of her life.

I feel so guilty to stay in Fukushima for 10 months, the most dangerous period.  I feel guilty to deprive everything from my daughter.  I'm not sure what was right.  After all, I am so sorry for my daughter.

The truth of Fukushima is recognized as taboo and nothing is reported.  I wonder people in other prefecture think we have to be confined in Fukushima and just avoid harms.  Still some people would think we claim too much.

If they restart nuclear plants and cause accidents, what will they do?  I suppose they think accidents will not happen in their areas.  The nuclear accident happened in Japan actually.  How can't they wake up yet.

Oi Nuclear Power Plant
It locates north of Kobe.  When winds blow from the north, Kobe would be contaminated terribly.  Here won't be set as a evacuation zone, so it will be even worse.  I wonder why people look so peacefully.
